Reduce mental harm. Promote mental health.
The Rapid Mental Health Prevention (RMHP) Strategy assists an organization in making decisions toward improving employee mental health in the workplace using an evidence-based approach. The rapid approach is designed to be completed within three weeks. It proposes a thoughtful, 12- to 24-month action plan to assist an organization in making decisions toward improving employees’ mental health in the workplace through an evidence-based approach.
Leveraging the deep expertise of the Howatt HR team, the RMHP is aligned to the CSA National Psychological Health and Safety Standard and utilizes an evidence-based approach to help you:
- Gather swift insights on current programs and policies.
- Facilitate leadership buy-in to mitigate risk, prevent harm, and target prevention.
- Foster understanding of organizational barriers, strengths, and opportunities.
- Develop an action plan to improve employee mental health in the workplace.
